%X the potential utility of applying a programme for prevention of depression for care providers with significant symptoms of depression was evaluated using a sample of 10 women and 3 men aged 43-82 years (m = 59.9 years; sd = 11.9). the programme consisted of five group sessions. post-intervention evaluations showed a statistically significant reduction in depressive symptoms (p < .001), social maladjustment (p < .001), burden levels (p < .05), risk of depression (p <.05), and a significant increase in problem-solving skills (p < .001). risk of depression remained lower than pre-intervention levels at follow-up, performed 12 weeks after the intervention (p < .01). these encouraging results justify further evaluation of the programme using a larger sample.
